DAY 12 – GOMBAK The heavy downpour early this morning failed to dampen the spirit of the Himpunan Hijau marchers, who resumed their journey from the outskirt of Kuala Lumpur today as their numbers swelled to about 2,000 people.
It rained since 5am at Taman Rimba, Gombak, where the marchers set up camp the previous night. Nevertheless, the participants pressed on, armed with umbrellas, straw hats and rain coats.
The marchers kicked off their journey at 8.30am with about 500 people in tow, and the number soon multiplied with more joining in when the rain stopped three hours later.
According to Himpunan Hijau Facebook page, the marchers formed a 2km-long line as they walked towards the capital city.
The team reached the Karak Highway’s Gombak toll plaza at around 11.30am, where they took a short break, occupying a small lane next to the toll.
They then continued their journey to their next stop – the former PAS headquarters at Taman Melewar, Gombak.
Some vehicles which passed the marchers repeatedly blew their horn as a show of support.

DAY 11 – GOMBAK After nearly 300km march from Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur, Master Kongli has become the motivating force for many participants suffering from injury and pain to continue with their journey.
As for himself, he thinks that this form of march is much more difficult than the Buddhist practice of meditative walking.
The 51-year-old joined the event the very first day, walking all the way from Kuantan and arriving in Gombak yesterday.
Although the journey must have consumed copious amounts of stamina, Kongli (left) still looked energetic when interviewed by the press.
He said that in Buddhism, there has a form of walking practice, which is very popular in Thailand, used to train their mind and soul.
However, he said that this green march required even more physical strength.
Kongli explained that one can rest whenever tired when walking for practice, but the Green March requires all participants to complete the targeted distance as planned.

Teo said the first few days were the hardest period as he had to treat an average of 30 to 40 participants who suffered blisters, leg cramps and fatigue.

Chinese medical practitioner took part on the Green Walk but he also found that he had to use all his skills to treat the walkers
KUALA LUMPUR: For Chinese traditional medical practitioner Elton Teo, the Green Walk was a humbling experience as it showed how generous and kind people can be.
Teo has been practising for over a decade but he says the 300km walk from Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur was the highpoint in his career.
Since Tuesday, he has been walking with the other participants and his knowledge of medicine was put to good use.
During the first few days in Maran and Lanchang, the group stopped and camped overnight in a locations where there was no electricity, he said.
“I had to treat the walkers in the dark,” he said. “I only relied on two orang aslis who lit up candlelight besides me.”
“There were also times when we have to put up an extension to obtain electricity from a house nearby,” he said.

The long walk to end Lynas inches to KL
| Harakahdaily, | 23 November 2012 |
Nov 23: The walking protest to oppose the Lynas rare-earth refinery in Kuantan is slowly making its way to Kuala Lumpur, and like a snowball, it is growing in size as more people decide to join the walkers whenever they stopped to rest.
ALL FOR A CAUSE … Malaysians of all hues are joining the 300-km anti-Lynas walk
Today, participants reached Bukit Tinggi, and will proceed to Taman Rimba. They are planning to gather at the Gombak toll plaza tomorrow, before making their way to the PAS training centre in Taman Melewar, which normally takes about 20 minutes from there by car.
Members of the public who would like to show their support or to join the remainder of the 300-km walk from Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur are welcome to gather at the Gombak toll plaza.
On Sunday, they will leave Taman Melewar and head to the final destination, Dataran Merdeka, before going to the Parliament where they plan to approach lawmakers on Monday.
The walk, the longest protest walk in the country’s history, is led by Wong Tack, chairman of Himpunan Hijau, the movement spearheading the anti-Lynas campaign, and started off with seventy people including children and the elderly.
It comes as Lynas Corp went ahead with its plan to begin operations of its Gebeng factory.

Environmentalists plan KL rally in rare earth protest
By Channel NewsAsia’s Malaysia Bureau Chief Melissa Goh | Posted: 22 November 2012 2007 hrs
KUALA LUMPUR: Environmental activists and concerned residents in Malaysia are planning to hold a massive rally in Kuala Lumpur this Sunday to protest against a controversial rare earth refinery.
…………….
Meanwhile, anti-Lynas activists are pushing ahead with massive rally in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
Hundreds have been on the road from Kuantan to the capital in a journey that covers over 200 kilometres to rally public support against Lynas. They are expected to reach Dataran Merdeka at 4pm on Sunday.
It’s unclear how big the turnout’s going to be.
The anti-Lynas campaign has sparked a green movement in the country, which analysts say may influence voters in their decisions in the coming polls.

Marchers against Lynas arrive in Selangor.
GOMBAK: The 14-day cross-country march against Lynas Corp will culminate on Monday with a gathering of citizens at Dataran Merdeka that the organisers call a “people’s assembly”.
The hundreds of participants in the so-called Green Walk arrived in Selangor today in a journey that began on Nov 12 in Kuantan with one man—Wong Tak, who leads the environmental group Himpunan Hijau.
Wong said Monday’s assembly would begin at 9am and would collectively decide how to respond to yesterday’s arrival of 100 containers of rare earth ore at Kuantan Port.
“There will be a true people’s assembly at Dataran,” he told reporters. “We will show that the choice is in our hands. We will let the people to decide how we should go forward to change the country.”
…………….
Selangor exco Ean Yong Hian Wah welcomed the marchers, estimated to number about 300, with lunch when they arrived at Taman Rimba Klasik Serdaya, Jalan Gombak. He also presented every participant with a carnation.
The group will march to the Gombak toll gate tomorrow, expecting to arrive there by 2pm. It will then move on to the former PAS headquarters at Taman Melewar, where the participants will spend the night. They will enter Dataran Merdeka by 4pm on Sunday.

These Malaysian citizens chose to embark on this journey (dubbed “Langkah Lestari”) because for far too long we have collectively as a nation allowed indiscriminate “development” and rapacious capitalistic resource extraction to go on, all in the name of economic growth and wealth creation.

SIDE VIEWS
From Kuantan to Dataran Merdeka: The emancipatory journey for a green Malaysia — Boon Kia Meng
NOV 22 — Humans make history; but never in circumstances and situations of their own choosing. This insightful observation by Marx, as he watched over the social upheavals unfolding in Europe in the middle of the 19th century, is a timely expression on what is happening in Malaysia today.
Have Malaysians ever heard of a group of ordinary, fellow Malaysians — our fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, our children — marching slowly but surely, on foot, all 300 kilometres of it, rain or shine, from Kuantan to Dataran Merdeka? All united in a common cause: to stop any further environmental degradation in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah and Sarawak, where stopping the Lynas rare earth refinery in Gebeng, and the Murum and Baram dams in Sarawak, constitutes a fundamental demand.
……………..
It was their spirit and determination that drew me and my friends to join them in their walk for environmental justice. Donning green shirts and a peasant farmer’s hat, we experienced first-hand what ordinary Malaysians can achieve when they organise themselves, a trend that typifies the sea change in people’s attitude and participation in citizenship activism since 2008.
Ordinary mothers arrange lodgings and food distribution, grandpas and grandmas providing moral support with their feet and encouraging words, fathers managing logistic details, while the young, even little children, learn to take their first baby steps in authentic environmentalism and love for the country.
In other words, “Langkah Lestari” epitomises what has been truly essential in any democratic movement for bringing real social change: the twin values of self-organisation and mutual aid. Against these values, no authoritarian state or oppressive regime can stand a chance. Ordinary citizens, learning to organise themselves, little by little, will win the hearts and minds of the majority of the populace.
…………….
This brings us back to the significance of this Sunday, November 25, in the history of this nation. The marchers have decided to occupy Dataran Merdeka once they reach there, awaiting the presence of the prime minister and Members of Parliament from both sides of the political divide the very next morning.
Again ordinary Malaysians like them face the arbitrary exercise of state power in the hands of City Hall and the police when the mayor of KL said that no gathering in Dataran is allowed without an application for permit. We know that the upsurge of participation of Malaysians in public protests since Bersih 3.0 is no historical accident. The momentum of people’s movements will only grow stronger and stronger by the day and “Himpunan Hijau 2.0: Langkah Lestari” in Dataran Merdeka this Sunday will be no different. Thousands upon thousands of Malaysians will be there, come what may.
“Those who do not move, do not notice their chains,” the radical democrat Rosa Luxemburg once said. Thank you, participants of Langkah Lestari, for walking and making Malaysians conscious of the shackles that are enslaving us. Thank you, Saudara Wong Tack (the organising chairperson), for reminding all Malaysians that true emancipation lies in our very own hands: “Pilihan di tangan kita!”

SPECIAL NEWS: MARCHERS CONFRONT SPECIAL BRANCH OFFICER AT BENTONG ON TUESDAY NIGHT (DAY 8)!!!
Malaysiakini
 |

DAY 9 – BENTONG A group of activists participating in the anti-Lynas green walk confronted a Special Branch (SB) officer during their stay in Bentong, Pahang on Tuesday night.
According to campaign spokesperson Wong Chun Yuan, the incident happened when the green walk team members spotted two SB officers recording them at a Catholic school, where the team was staying overnight.
When contacted yesterday, he told Malaysiakini that about 10 members had then surrounded the two police officers, though one of them managed to slip away.
“We had some ‘exchange’ for about 15 minutes, (where) he admitted that he was from the SB but refused to delete the photos,” Wong said.
“We have no problem with the SB taking our photographs during our march, but do not break into the our rest area without our permission.
“Moreover, they were just recording downstairs in a room where our female members were taking a rest.”
Wong added that they did not force the police officer to delete the photos.
However, they warned him that he will not be let off easily if he gets caught again the next time.

The police said anti-Lynas group Himpunan Hijau has to notify the force if its intended gathering at Dataran Merdeka, but that they have yet to do so.
“They (Himpunan Hijau) need to send notification to police under Section 9 (1) of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012, but they didn’t,” Dang Wangi OCPD Zainuddin Ahmad told Malaysiakini in a SMS.
However he was unable to comment further, as he was in a meeting at the time.

The the anti-Lynas green walk organiser has made a slight change to its plan. The protesters will not march to Parliament House as originally planned for the culmination of their 14-day, 300km journey.
Instead, the green marchers will camp at Dataran Merdeka once they reach the iconic venue on Sunday and wait for the prime minister and MPs to meet them there on the morning of the next day.
Himpunan Hijau chairperson Wong Tack, who initiated the campaign in his personal capacity, announced the latest development during a sharing session in Bentong, Pahang, late last night.
Contacted later, Wong said it would be better for the people’s representatives to meet the anti-Lynas rare earths refinery plant protesters at Dataran Merdeka.

“During the lunch break earlier (yesterday), I saw that the faces of all the participants were looking very tired… as if even another 1km of walk will be too much for them,
“So, instead of we walking the 3km or 4km to Parliament, the elected representatives should come to Dataran Merdeka to meet the people,” he said.
Asked what he would do if the MPs refused to come, Wong said, “If the MPs still care for the people and want to exercise their responsibilities as people’s representatives, they should be there.”

Six unknown men have been identified following the Himpunan Hijau protesters walking to Parliament House in Kuala Lumpur from Kuantan, officials of the environmentalist group say.
Himpunan Hijau spokesperson Wong Chun Yuan told Malaysiakini they suspect the six men to be members of the police Special Branch (SB).
Chun Yuan said two of the unidentified men had first been spotted taking photographs and jotting down notes as the anti-Lynas rare earths refinery plant protesters were marching along the Kuantan-Gambang route.
“We recognise them (the two men) to be from the Special Branch based in Kuantan. They always appear at our activities,” he said.
He said the unidentified group increased to six men at Karak. They moved in three cars, monitoring the green marchers at their gatherings and resting points.
Last Wednesday, an unknown person who claimed that he was a police officer, tried to chase away members of the PAS Unit Amal who were escorting the marchers at Sri Jaya, about 15km from Maran.
According to one of the officials in the organising committee, the man warned that the escort provided by the Unit Amal was “dangerous” and threatened to issue a summons.
However, the man did not produce any identification to prove he was from the police and left after jotting down a Unit Amal member’s driving licence details.
Chun Yuan said that the group of men have since not interrupted the marchers nor communicated with them.
A photograph provided by Himpunan Hijau (above) shows an unidentified man wearing the official Himpunan Hijau T-shirt.

According to Sin Chew, Ho alleged that Kok went to his restaurant and issued the threat before the arrival of the group. The newspaper also said another MCA leader, identified as Wong, called Ho in the morning and questioned whether he was a supporter of the anti-Lynas movement.
The report has sparked an uproar among netizens, many of whom labeled MCA as arrogant and accused it of abusing power.

MCA denies threatening green eatery
The restaurant owner who feted the anti-Lynas marchers probably misunderstood what he heard, says the party’s Temerloh chief.
PETALING JAYA: Temerloh MCA chief Chuah Boon Seong has denied claims that two local MCA leaders issued threats to a restaurant owner who feted the anti-Lynas green walk group on Saturday.
Chuah speculated today that the owner of Tong Onn Restaurant, Ho Yup Onn, might have misinterpreted what the two party leaders said.
“I have talked to the two leaders and I was told there is no such thing,” he told FMT. “Maybe there are some wrong interpretations from the other side.”
Sin Chew Daily yesterday quoted Ho as saying that a Temerloh MCA leader, identified only as Kok, threatened to revoke his business licence should he go ahead to feed lunch to the marchers. The licence was issued by the Temerloh District Council.

Temerloh: Coffee shop owner says he has been intimidated by local MCA leaders because he hosted participants of Himpunan Hijau’s ‘long march’ last Friday.

A coffee shop owner in Temerloh says he has been intimidated by local MCA leaders, who threatened that his business licence will be revoked because he hosted participants of Himpunan Hijau’s ‘long march’ last Friday.
However, the owner, who would only identify himself as Ho, has won the support of Kuantan Parade Traders’ Association chairperson JK Pang, who condemned the intimidation as “action to appease the higher authorities”.
Ho told Sin Chew Daily that after participants of the anti-Lynas refinery plant march had their meals at his coffee shop, for which they paid, a local MCA leader with the surname ‘Kuok’ came to his shop and warned him that his operating licence would be revoked.
This threat was followed by a phone call from another local MCA leader, going by the surname ‘Ng’, who said a police special branch officer had asked whether Ho was a supporter of the opposition.
Ho slammed the two MCA leaders for victimising him and argued that it was his right to conduct business from his premises.

昨天参与绿行，遇到一些有趣的人有趣的事。久违的翠梅跟我相识于十五十六时，在当年的学记生活营是负责暗中照顾我的小天使。我们在晨光中一起说着吃着笑着 走了一程，她征求了我的意见之后，把苹果核丢在垃圾堆里，然后问，不知会长出苹果树吗？我说，大概会长出梅树。她笑，跟以前的笑容一样美。在我脚步开始散 乱笨拙之后，她依然气定神闲地向前走。一路上感觉她是在滑行而非行走，那姿态真是赏心悦目。
就连走路的姿态都如此沉重。生活真是到处是道场，如何轻松自如地走路，亦是一门修行呀。黄德是我在地里望华小的学兄。地里望是彭亨州一个偏远的小村庄，这趟绿行我遇到了三个从地里望华小毕业的人，都是五十岁以上的前辈，都离开了这个小地方。 我在休息时段时跟黄德在木棚下聊了起来。他告诉我，当年从建筑系毕业的他选择到加拿大修读环保系，父亲没法理解他的选择，但他依然坚持自己的选择。毕业之 后他留在加拿大发展，一晃就是15年。15年后他回到吉隆坡，为了给父亲一个交代，他在妹妹的建筑公司做建筑师，盖了几栋大楼之后，热爱自然环境的他实在 没法在吉隆坡呆下去，于是飞到沙巴州做油棕园和有机农场，一呆就是五年，期间他一直领导反煤炭发电厂的工作，令当地政府和公司有所忌讳。他认为莱纳斯稀土 厂、边佳兰石化厂、武吉公满山埃厂只是一些课题，要绿化环境需作长远的工作，因此他积极推广有机农场及有机生活的概念，希望能打造出一个热爱大自然的社 会。这一趟行程听到一名绿色盛会的年轻人说，当初黄德提出从关丹走路到国会时，大家都认为那是疯狂的点子，不可能做到，但计划推展之后，许多人都热烈支持，而 且参与的人越来越多。我问黄德，为何他是以个人而非组织的名义发起这次的绿色苦行？他告诉我，那是因为警察已经盯紧绿色盛会，若绿行是由绿色盛会发起，就 成了一个正式活动，需要提出申请等，警方会找借口刁难，若是个人发起就容易得多了，警方总不成限制个人走路吧？连续四天了，黄德沉稳地走在从关丹到国会的路上，我从他在烈日下行走的壮阔身影看到，当一个人矢志要做一件正义的事情时，没有人阻挡得了他，而且无数人会自然跟随其后。这，就是个体的力量。我瞒着总是担心我安危的家人，凌晨五点多摸黑开车从地里望这个小地方驶向陌生的马兰，抵达时已是7点30分，绿行队伍已经启程，健聪安排我坐上了保姆车赶 上大队，我在一名东马原住民–罗斯丁的身边插队。我跟他说起我之前曾去过巴贡一带，来自巴南的他说，他的岳母来自巴贡上游，当年巴贡水坝计划迁移上游原 住民时，他岳母种的三千多棵黄梨，政府只赔了145令吉。我以为我听错，向他确认，是145千吧？他说，不，正是145令吉。145令吉，是路边小贩卖 145片黄梨的价钱，她岳母大概遇上了心肠最歹毒的强盗。我从他口中获知，巴南水坝尚未开始兴建，他们打从一开始就拒绝谈赔偿，只专注于施压政府撤销水坝计划。由于水坝还未兴工，只要压力够大，他相信人民是可以成功的，因此他来到了这里，走这十四天的路程，希望能带出原住民的心声。之后，我还遇见了负责开车护送绿行队伍的单亲妈妈。她是在面子书上看到绿色苦行的新闻，感动到眼泪直流，因此赶紧完成手头上的工作，向老板请假过来参加绿 行。绿行队伍里的人，她一个都不认识，她打了绿色盛会在网上公布的热线电话之后，昨天早上就开着灵鹿带着小孩从关丹来到马兰了。由于没法安排到从终点回到 起点的交通，她没法投入步行队伍，只好帮忙开车负责接送工作。这一路上遇到了好多人，他们都是很好的人，一个放下工作全程参与的专业摄影师、一个身材丰满但意志坚定的演员、两个陪我走了长长一段路跟我分享了许多政圈 故事的邓章钦助理、脚力惊人永远跑第一的飞车安娣、随和而性格坚强的阿眉姐、看你走得辛苦时会向你传授走长途秘诀的＂体育老师＂、特地请假来参加绿行的美 女销售员、让人痛了之后立即舒服的随团按摩师傅、年轻而有理想的政治工作者健聪和政贤等等。在最后的两公里行程中两度给我鼓励的笑容的当地马来妇女在我抵达终点之后跟我相识而笑，然后紧紧地握了握我的手。我们一句话都没说，我握着她的手，像握着一朵温润的花朵。向大伙儿道别时，一个男生挥手嘱咐我，＂在面子书上多多分享你的经验呀＂。于是我就写了这一些。
11.00pm
”我没有钱，没有屋子和名贵车。有的只是医术。“
忽然想起杨中医师。
那天傍晚，我们冲刺了18公里，疲倦地在Kampung Awah伊斯兰幼儿园内歇息呻吟。
9.45pm
